Embodiment Construction

Reference now will be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the flat-panel display apparatus constructed according to the principles of the present invention largely is divided into a display unit 10 displaying images according to a display signal and supplied with electrical power; a stand unit 20 supporting the display unit 10; and a hinge unit 40, located between the display unit and stand unit, rotatably connecting the display unit to the stand unit and allowing dual-axis adjustment of the viewing angle of the display unit as desired.

The present invention provides a hinge mechanism connecting the display to the stand at a single point. Further, the hinge mechanism allows for bi-directional rotation of the display with respect to the stand, along both a vertical axis 48 and a horizontal axis 54, as shown in FIG. 1B.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the display uni...

Abstract

A flat-panel display apparatus has a display unit with dual-axis adjustment capability. A cable supplying display signals and electrical power to the display unit passes through a vertically-oriented hinge shaft rotatably connecting the display unit to a stand unit, thus preventing an undesired twisting of the cable.
